[QUOTE="christopheros00, post: 155916, member: 11300"] Just hired two plumbers to refit my bathroom. Work has started today. It was agreed ahead of the works by the plumber that we would hide (chase) some of the pipe work in the wall for the basin. I am having a wall hung toilet with concealed cistern and wall hung basin installed. This is to give a spacious look in a small bathroom and show more floor space. The plumber/builder has now informed me that he would rather keep some of the pipe work coming out of the floor, that is near to the wall, and box around it, and conceal this with tiles. I think this will look untidy and that the pipes should be placed in the wall. The wall incidentally is an external brick wall, latching on to the neighbour. Advice please on whether I should push the plumber to dig into the wall, which will later be tiled over, or whether he should box the existing pipe work in, but I will lose the look of floor space in a relatively small bathroom and the room will not look symmetrical. Sorry for the rather long explanation. Thank you for any kind advice and I'd be happy to clarify anything where possible.Christopher [/QUOTE]
